Your Life

Autoimmune disease is your body’s natural defense mechanism attacking itself. Basically, it cannot determine what is foreign and what is your own. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases which include psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and celiac disease. All are scary, many are debilitating, and some are deadly.
